Homework 3

Classification II; Clustering I

Materials

• 📝 Template (.Rmd) — start here; fill in each section
• 📄 Assignment (PDF) — readable version of the questions
• 📊 Data — Part A (assign3_data.csv)
• 📊 Data — Part B (penguins.csv)
• Part C is a simulation study: you generate your own data.

Instructions

Open the R Markdown template, knit it once to confirm your environment is set up, and complete each problem in the appropriate section. Submit a knitted PDF (and optionally the .Rmd source) via Canvas before the deadline.

Important

Remember to set eval = TRUE below when compiling the report.

TipReproducibility

Set a random seed at the top of your .Rmd so your simulation results don’t change between knits. Use set.seed(42) (or any fixed integer).
